Current report
On November 24, 2023, we received a second letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had been granted an additional 180 calendar days, or until May 20, 2024 (the “Extended Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
Current report
On May 21, 2024, we received a third letter from Nasdaq (the “Letter”) notifying us that it had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Extended Compliance Period. The Letter also notified us that our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, indicates that we no longer meet the $2,500,000 minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), the failure to comply with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement has become an additional and separate basis for delisting.
Current report
Because we were under review for failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we were not eligible to submit a plan to regain compliance. Accordingly, unless we would request an appeal of this determination by May 28, 2024, trading of our common stock would be suspended at the opening of business on May 30, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The hearing request would result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing. On August 5, 2024, we received the decision of the Panel, and they granted us an extension to November 18, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
Current report
On May 17, 2024, in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which effected, as of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, on May 17, 2024, a one-for-five Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Previous report
We initially had 180 days from May 26, 2023, or through November 22, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. However, on November 24, 2023, we received a notice from Nasdaq stating that we were granted an additional 180 calendar days, or until May 20, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule (the “Extended Compliance Period”). If at any time during the Extended Compliance Period, the closing bid price of our Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that we have regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If we cannot demonstrate compliance during the Extended Compliance Period, then Nasdaq will provide notice that our Common Stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a hearings panel.
Previous report
At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on April 26, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to file a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-30, to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On April 30, 2024, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split. Among other considerations, the Company plans to implement the Reverse Stock Split to satisfy the Bid Price Rule for continued listing on Nasdaq.

Previous wording
You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. The risk factors set forth below supplements and updates the risk factors previously disclosed and should be read together with the risk factors described in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and with any risk factors we may include in subsequent periodic filings with the SEC.

Previous wording
Given the current momentum for continuous blood glucose monitoring (“CBGM”) in the diabetes market, we have announced our decision to reset our priorities, improve our commercial outlook and refine our business strategy to focus on our implantable CBGM technology. Should our efforts to focus on this CBGM technology not be successful, we will need to further evaluate our business strategy and, as a result, our Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interest of our stockholders to dissolve our Company and liquidate our assets or otherwise modify our strategy in the future. In this regard, we may, from time to time, focus our product development efforts on different product candidates or may delay, suspend or terminate the future development of a product candidate at any time for strategic, business, financial or other reasons. As a result of changes in our strategy, we have and may in the future change or refocus our existing product development, commercialization and manufacturing activities. This could require changes in our facilities and our personnel. Any product development changes that we implement may not be successful. In particular, we may fail to select or capitalize on the most scientifically, clinically or commercially promising or profitable product candidates. Our decisions to allocate our research and development, management and financial resources toward particular product candidates may not lead to the development of viable commercial products and may divert resources from better opportunities. Similarly, our decisions to delay or terminate product development programs may also prove to be incorrect and could cause us to miss valuable opportunities.

Previous wording
As previously disclosed, on May 26, 2023, we received notice from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the prior 30 consecutive business days, we were not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).

Previous wording
If our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be subject to SEC rules as a “penny stock,” which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. In addition, delisting would materially and adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.
